Web Designer & Developer | Open Source Enthusiast | Passionate Artist!

Rajesh Rathod is the founder of imli Design Studio and a self-taught web designer and developer based in Pune, India. Rather than a specialist, he likes being a “jack of all trades” and keeps constantly exploring new skills and domains.

WordPress Origin Story

With an academic background in Economics (Arts), he transitioned into tech by learning to code and building websites that help individuals and businesses establish a strong digital presence.

His journey began in 2018 with writing blogs on Google’s Blogger, eventually leading him to the world of WordPress. Since then, Rajesh has become an active contributor to the WordPress ecosystem—co-organizing WordCamp Pune, a premier annual tech event, and contributed to the WordPress 6.8 core release.

Passionate about community, creativity, and continuous learning, Rajesh enjoys working on block themes and plugin development.
